Primary and personal added due to likelihood of people having many. If you just have a work assigned phone then that's fine too
Not sure, think it might be an android clone.
iPhone is my primary. I also have a work-issued Blackberry but use it mainly for reading work emails.
I have an iPhone 6 plus.
I'm Titus Androidicus
I prefer to use email.

Me too - I think in 9 cases out of 10 calling someone in this day and age of emails and text messages, is just plain rude. But I use my iPhone as a portable computer mainly.
Two Androids, one for work, one for home. And a pair of Android tablets too.
Our Family Unit has 2 Android Phones and one Android Tablet
Android - Nexus 4 plus work blackberry.
I bow to the many faces god that is Google.

The cultural shift that has calling someone on the phone as being "rude" or not to be desired in some fashion is simply fucking bizarre to me.
I know it exists - my kids would sooner carve out their eyes than actually call someone on the phone.
I agree with the talking on the phone hate.
My ideal plan would be one where I do have a number for those times where I have to give it....but otherwise just pure data.
My Windows phone recently pretty much died and it is doubtful I will be able to hack my iPhone 5 so I'm currently pondering a new phone.
I was switching back and forth between an Android (LG G3) and a Windows phone (Blu LTE something or other), but I "need" certain apps the G3 has that the Blu doesn't. I'll go back and check out Win 10 Mobile when that comes out though.
Windows phone is nice. But app makers just aren't trying with it. The windows phone version of facebook for instance is miles behind the iphone
I got a Windows phone because it was the cheapest touchscreen in the store.
I kinda get now how calling can be a pain in the ass. Too many steps to check voice mail. But reading a text is just as simple as reading an email.
iPhone 6 Plus
HTC One.
Google is my master.
L.
Fire phone.

You disappoint me, I was expecting:

Is that what you use?
I have found disposable ones goof for my purposes.

It's bizarre to me too, and I often still think that texting over calling is less, well, "intimate", especially when trying to communicate with friends. But I see the other side too...who are you to disturb me at YOUR convenience with a phone call, when you can text me instead, and allow me to respond(or better, actually call in response) at mine? Kinda goes to the odd logic we had developed in the past that, just because somebody makes your phone ring, they take some kind of priority over the person who is there talking to you...in person.
for me, depends on the relationship. good friend? call, #yolo. professional friend/acquaintance? text asking if they're available to talk
LG G3 (Android). I will keep it as my primary phone for at least two or three years due to my satisfaction.

:hmm:
I'm guessing he means "work friends". People at work whom you like, and who like you, but for reasons, never really hang outside of work or work functions. I've had plenty of those.

For me, it's more about the content of the message than anything else. Want to remind me that we've planned to get together to watch the game on TV tonight? Text me, and I can just text back an acknowledgment/confirmation. Want to set up plans for a future get-together? Call me, so we can actually talk and discuss what we want to do, when, where, etc.
Landline is my primary. It's cheap and part of my cable package. I also have a cell phone which I rarely use, and just keep renewing a fifteen or more dollar fee to keep minutes on it for a couple months or so. But I have been contemplating one of them fancy smancy smarty pants phones. :)
